Report addresses the feasibility of Federal participation in a flood protection project for the historic community of Ste. Genevieve, Missouri. The town was founded in the 1700's by French colonists. Much of the community has been designated a Registered National Historic Landmark. Flooding is primarily from the Mississippi River. The proposed plan includes a major levee and pump station, tributary channel widening and other features, and costs $33,580,000 at October 1984 price levels. Benefits include historic preservation and reduction in flood damages.
